Walk on: Donatella Versace led out the models in formation on Friday night, as they brought the show to a spectacular climax

It was a re-enactment of one of Gianni's history-making moments from 1991, when four supermodels walked arm in arm with him on the runway.

And Helena paid ode to the 'much missed' late designer on Instagram, as she admitted her Versace return was 'very emotional'.

Sharing a snap of the group together, she wrote: 'A very emotional moment, walking down the runway with my girls honoring the wonderful and much missed Gianni Versace with @donnatelaofficial who created the most incredible collection.'

'They [the supers] have a green room each, but they are running in and out of each other's rooms all day. And because they walk the runway together they are arguing about who gets to go in the middle, just like the old days.'

She added that the pop-art references and scarf prints are an 'homage' to Gianni because 'Gianni was all about joy, and so full of life, and the prints really express that spirit.'

Helena may have made a catwalk return but her teenage son Mingus is carving out his own modelling career.

The proud mother,who shares Mingus with actor Norman Reedus, said it 'was awesome' to see her 16-year-old strut down the catwalk for Calvin Klein.

But the veteran model also confessed how 'bizarre' it was to watch her offspring make his first foray into the fashion world.

Helena, who actually shot the ad campaign for the Raf Simons designed collection, said watching the show 'was really intense' because of her personal connection to the models and the clothes.

'It was really funny. I was sitting there going, "Okay, this is so bizarre,"' the Danish darling told WWD.
